Fracture Characteristics and Tensile Strength Prediction of Rock–Concrete Composite Discs Under Radial Compression by Tengfei Guo, Houqiang Wang, Xuefeng Si, Chengzhi Pu, Zhixiang Liu, Qi Zhang, Weijun Liu

“…However, for angles of 60°, 75°, and 90°, crack initiation shifts away from the interface crack tips. The AE parameters RA (rise time/amplitude) and AF (average frequency) were used to characterize different failure patterns, while energy evolution analysis revealed that the highest percentage of energy consumption occurs at a crack angle of 45°, indicating intense microcrack activity. …”
